Fra Angelico Endowment for Visual Arts

This fund was established in April 2002 by the St. Joseph School art teachers to provide permanent financial support for art education at St. Joseph Schools. The fund is named in honor of Fra Beato Angelico – the Patron Saint of Artists. He was an Italian painter of the early Renaissance who combined the life of a devout friar with that of an accomplished painter. He was called Beato (Italian for blessed) and Angelico (Italian for angel) because the paintings he did were of calm, religious subjects and because of his extraordinary personal piety.

We chose Fra Angelico because at St. Joseph School it is our belief that each child is one of God’s blessed angels and what greater gift could he bless his angels with than the ability to create the beauty of their thoughts and feelings through art.
